like a lifetime j on the night of the third day onr sufferings had reached a stage where we began to fear the approach of death then we began to plan to defeat fate wo knew that every crumb of bread meant an hour of life and that every hour meant to us a chance for life the first thing we did was to seel water the st paul mine is not gas filled it is filled with drops of moisture and every one of the twen j ty-one men in our prison began cutting away uio coal irom the faces i o the gallery and fashioning small pools where the water could drip we gathered a little water in this way and ir was

succumb to weak ness they had been overcome by smoke before they get into the hole and were sick walewesak is au old man ho had no fear of death and kept saying boys i don't think i shall ever see god

agreed that this wafer should be his the suffering became so terrible that the men's minds began to / ; wander my own tongue was parched and so swollen that i could ( â€¢ hardly talk every man was in

like a lifetime j on the night of the third day onr sufferings had reached a stage where we began to fear the approach of death then we began to plan to defeat fate wo knew that every crumb of bread meant an hour of life and that every hour meant to us a chance for life the first thing we did was to seel water the st paul mine is not gas filled it is filled with drops of moisture and every one of the twen j ty-one men in our prison began cutting away uio coal irom the faces i o the gallery and fashioning small pools where the water could drip we gathered a little water in this way and ir was dec-it out spar ingly each man was allowed a mouthful h was pitch dark in the . i gallery and everj man was put upon his honor not to dy more than moisten his parched tongue when it came his turn so

of the men began to yield to animal de sire and when they were forced away irom he little hollowed out cups the others who were to drink them empty there was a quarrel over this one man in particular

succumb to weak ness they had been overcome by smoke before they get into the hole and were sick walewesak is au old man ho had no fear of death and kept saying boys i don't think i shall ever see god sun again but it is bet ter that 1 should go than some of you younger fellows we placed him near a little cup we had hollowed out and where a few thimblefuls of water seeped through every day we agreed that this wafer should be his the suffering became so terrible that the men's minds began to / ; wander my own tongue was parched and so swollen that i could ( â€¢ hardly talk every man was in
